One week to go!
Things are hotting up, a welcome late showing by San Francisco Kid, we still have the African stallion and Four Eyes running what appears to be neck and neck out front, with Ol’ Two Face in hot pursuit. It’s time to get those whips out.
(I have a feeling that Ol’ Two Face’s latest entry might just have put one of his noses in front, time will tell)
More from the ‘couldn’t make it up department.’
How on earth do you become a qualified municipal electrician in South Africa?
This an actual sign with instructions for electricians to follow in case of a power failure at the Marikana sub-station, between Pretoria and Rustenburg.

Trevor Noah appeared on the NBC hit ‘Tonight show with Jay Lenno’ this past weekend. He’s the first South African comedian to guest on the show and by all accounts was very well received.

His wife works part time at our local medical centre and he’s employed by one of the motor manufacturers in the city.
Well, sad to say, he’s fallen on hard times lately, his employers are working short time (and have been for the last 18 months or so) which has resulted in him getting behind on his mortgage payments and forced him to increase his overdraft facility and credit card usage. He tells me that life has become untenable. Continue reading “Haircuts”
